Six-Sentence Saturday 08/10/2013

I don't know about you, but my feet are cold this morning. I don't like this changing August weather. It's supposed to be HOT, y'all!

1.) I am prowling through the house trying to find a worthy book to read.

2.) Have you ever read THE MARROW OF THE WORLD, by Ruth Nichols? (Trina Schart Hyman illustrates it. GORGEOUS stuff!)

Source

3.) I think I'll read that one.

Source

4.) Now that I've finished Season One, I think I'm liking Supernatural.

Source

5.) All of a sudden, the episodes are ending on cliffhangers... what's up with that?!

Source

6.) I want to watch Grimm now, which is similar to Supernatural, but it deals with Fantasy monsters instead of Demon monsters.

Source

That's all for today, crazy people! Hope you all have a good weekend. Me, I'm going to listen to some medical dictation before heading off to work. Mumble mumble-ino and all that. (Brownie points to anyone who got that reference. It's from a book.)

God bless!

Music Recommendations from the Escapist. (That's me. :-)

Today I'm going to share MUSIC!!!

Everyone loves music. Best thing about one song too, is how short it is. A book takes a good couple of hours (at least) to finish. Same with movies. A single song can be listened to in two to six minutes. Sometimes less, sometimes more. But 'round about that much time.

So here are my recommendations!!

Featuring Music:

1.) BRAVE, BY JOSH GROBAN - Inspirational

This song is rich, inspirational, with a driving kind of sound that makes you want to be brave, even if you feel like you aren't. This song is my pick-me-up song when I'm feeling down. It's one of those, "You don't think you can get through this. You're just an ordinary person. There's nothing special about you. But don't you see, that's why you are special. You don't think you can keep going, but you do. And that makes you brave," kind of songs.

Source

I ADORE it. I like to blare it in the car and sing to it loudly. It helps make you feel oh so much better. Of course, he's got the most amazing voice too, which makes it *that* much better. :)

2.) STARLIGHT, BY TAYLOR SWIFT - Romantic

This song... well, all I can say is the second verse REALLY reminds me of me, especially if I'm the person who is getting talked to. :) And the bit where she says, "We could get married, have ten kids and teach them how to dream," well, that just made me cry. Still does, actually, if I'm in *that* kind of mood.

Source

I love the idea of dancing like you're made of starlight. This whole song kind of has a nostalgic, dreamy kind of feel, as though daring you to dream. I love it so much, you guys!

3.) CELLO WARS (STAR WARS PARODY), BY THE PIANO GUYS - Instrumental, humorous

If you have never heard of the Piano Guys, here you go. You're welcome.

Source

All of their videos are amazing. The Piano Guys mainly consists of one Piano Guy and one Cello Guy, with the Video Guy, Audio Guy, and another Video Guy occasionally making appearances. Their parodies, like this one, is hilarious, and they have an amazing talent for blending popular songs with classical songs. Give them a look on Youtube. They have two CD's available now! (I own them both. They are BRILLIANT musicians!)

Source

-----------------------------------

So there you go. Your music for the week. I hope you enjoyed that. A little Brave, a little Starlight, a little Star Wars... something for everyone, right?

God bless!
